New ear problem for the past month; Menieres or something else?

Is this tinnitus? With vertigo?
In the US I have had success with a physical therapist who has expertise and equipment for testing for different kinds of vertigo/dizziness.
An audiologist with expertise in tinnitus is good for that, if that is what you have. There is an excellent tinnitus forum online and others have dizziness, ear pain/fullness and other symptoms.

@windyshores Did your physical therapist use Vestibular Rehabilitation Training (VBT)? I am scheduled for testing with a pt who specializes in VBT and am concerned about the possibility of an increase in symptoms due to the testing methods. Did you have an increase in symptoms after the testing process? If so, how long until the symptoms subsided?
I have Meniere's and am currently in a period of relative stability, so the thought of having an
increase in symptoms is concerning.

I have no idea what it is, and although testing is continuing, there are no answers.
The tinnitus comes on as discrete attacks and disappears after some hours.
Basically all I'm doing is following up on appointments and proactively following a Menieres-type diet to try to avoid future attacks.
